Learning objectives
This module aims at providing students with the main techniques of descriptive statistics, probability theory and statistical inference. In general, these techniques offer a solid ground to perform quantitative analysis of those collective phenomena that are of main interest in business and social sciences. More specifically, methodologies presented in this module are required to describe, interpret and manipulate official data, as well as to carry out an independent statistical analysis in socio-economic contexts. Also, they form the basis of decision analysis in business realities that are becoming increasingly more international. Also, this module aims at offering students the instruments to critically evaluate the proposed techiques.
Prerequisites and basic notions
Basic notions of mathematics (including limits, derivatives, integrals).
Program
1) Descriptive statistics
• Introductory concepts, population and sample, qualitative and quantitative characters
• Types of statistical data, statistical distributions (simple, double, unitary, frequency), graphical representations, histogram
• Cumulative frequencies, step or continuous distribution function
• Location indexes: arithmetic mean, harmonic mean, geometric mean, median, quartiles, deciles, percentiles and quantiles, mode
• Variability indexes: range, interquartile range, simple mean deviations, standard deviation and variance; variance of a linear transformation, standardization; relative indexes of variability: the coefficient of variation
• Indexes of asymmetry and kurtosis
• Double, unitary and frequency distributions; arithmetic mean of the sum of several variables and of the product of two variables; covariance and variance of the sum of several variables; conditional distributions; independence and chi-square dependence index
• Statistical interpolation: least squares method and least squares line, linear correlation coefficient and coefficient of determination R^2; total, explained and residual deviance
2) Probability
• Random experiments, sample space, tree diagrams, random events and operations between events, elements of combinatorial calculus
• Algebras and sigma-algebras, probability spaces, axiomatic definition of probability and its interpretations
• Conditional probability, product law, stochastic independence between events, total probability formula and Bayes' theorem
• Discrete and continuous random variables, distribution function, transformations of random variables, expected value and variance
• Notable discrete distributions: uniform, Bernoulli, binomial
• Notable continuous distributions: uniform and normal
• Discrete double random variables: joint probability distribution, marginal and conditional probability distributions, independence between random variables, covariance, Bravais correlation coefficient
• Linear combinations of random variables, sample mean of independent random variables, sum of independent normal random variables
• (Weak) law of large numbers, Bernoulli's law of large numbers for relative frequencies, central limit theorem
3) Inferential statistics
• Probabilistic samples, sample mean, sample relative frequency, sample variance, chi-squared sample distributions, Student's t
• Point estimate, correctness, efficiency and consistency of the estimators; estimation of mean, proportion, variance
• Interval estimate (confidence interval) for mean, proportion (large samples), variance
• Hypothesis tests: observed power and significance level, one-tailed and two-tailed tests for the mean, for the proportion (large samples) and for the variance; comparison between two means
Bibliography
Didactic methods
The course includes 84 hours of lessons, including lectures and exercise sessions. All lectures and exercise sessions are essential for an adequate understanding of the topics covered, as well as individual study. During the course, for each specific topic, the parts of the textbook to be studied are indicated. In addition to the scheduled course hours, several hours of tutoring are also provided as further training support.
All lectures and exercise sessions are held in person. It is advisable to attend the lessons and exercise sessions, taking notes regularly. All the teaching material related to the course (lecture notes, exercises, past exam assignments etc.) is published on the University's E-learning platform (Moodle).
Learning assessment procedures
The final exam is written and consists of three exercises with open questions, both theoretical and practical, on the topics covered in the course. It is allowed to consult a formulary written on a double-sided A4 sheet and the statistical tables, as well as the use of a scientific calculator.
An midterm test is scheduled in November, on about half of the course program. The result, if passed, can replace the score of the sam part of the program in the first exam of the winter session. In each partial test the formulary must be prepared on only one A4 side.
Evaluation criteria
Rather than assessing the correctness of the individual numerical results, in the correction of the test primary importance is given to their statistical interpretation within the problem and to the solution of the proposed exercises. Justifying every answer and commenting on the adopted procedures is therefore strongly recommended.
Criteria for the composition of the final grade
The final mark coincides with the score in the final exam, or with the sum of the two partial scores (if both are above a minimum threshold).

Nei piani didattici di ciascun Corso di studio è previsto l’obbligo di conseguire un certo numero di crediti formativi mediante attività a scelta (chiamate anche "di tipologia D e F").
Oltre che in insegnamenti previsti nei piani didattici di altri corsi di studio e in certificazioni linguistiche o informatiche secondo quanto specificato nei regolamenti di ciascun corso, tali attività possono consistere anche in iniziative extracurriculari di contenuto vario, quali ad esempio la partecipazione a un seminario o a un ciclo di seminari, la frequenza di laboratori didattici, lo svolgimento di project work, stage aggiuntivo, eccetera.
Come per ogni altra attività a scelta, è necessario che anche queste non costituiscano un duplicato di conoscenze e competenze già acquisite dallo studente.
Quelle elencate in questa pagina sono le iniziative extracurriculari che sono state approvate dalla Commissione didattica e quindi consentono a chi vi partecipa l'acquisizione dei CFU specificati, alle condizioni riportate nelle pagine di dettaglio di ciascuna iniziativa.
Si ricorda in proposito che:
- tutte queste iniziative richiedono, per l'acquisizione dei relativi CFU, il superamento di una prova di verifica delle competenze acquisite, secondo le indicazioni contenute nella sezione "Modalità d'esame" della singola attività;
- lo studente è tenuto a inserire nel proprio piano degli studi l'attività prescelta e a iscriversi all'appello appositamente creato per la verbalizzazione, la cui data viene stabilita dal docente di riferimento e pubblicata nella sezione "Modalità d'esame" della singola attività.

CONTAMINATION LAB
Il Contamination Lab Verona (CLab Verona) è un percorso esperienziale con moduli dedicati all'innovazione e alla cultura d'impresa che offre la possibilità di lavorare in team con studenti e studentesse di tutti i corsi di studio per risolvere sfide lanciate da aziende ed enti. Il percorso permette di ricevere 6 CFU in ambito D o F. Scopri le sfide: https://www.univr.it/clabverona
ATTENZIONE: Per essere ammessi a sostenere una qualsiasi attività didattica, incluse quelle a scelta, è necessario essere iscritti all'anno di corso in cui essa viene offerta. Si raccomanda, pertanto, ai laureandi delle sessioni di dicembre e aprile di NON svolgere attività extracurriculari del nuovo anno accademico, cui loro non risultano iscritti, essendo tali sessioni di laurea con validità riferita all'anno accademico precedente. Quindi, per attività svolte in un anno accademico cui non si è iscritti, non si potrà dar luogo a riconoscimento di CFU.
